Note the report in columns 4-5: "Bremen Reported Sunk Off Denmark" |
(This report is just a rehash of reports in April which claimed Bremen had been sunk...again. Bremen was a famous German ocean liner that the Allies wanted to capture, but never did. Many stories claimed "Bremen captured" or "Bremen sunk" neither of which were true. Bremen escaped to the Soviet Union and then made its way back to Germany. Bremen was destroyed by fire in March 1941 and later scrapped.) |
